In this episode, I continue my discussion with archaeologists from across Canada to talk about cultural resource management (CRM) in Canada. In the final part of our discussion we consider the following questions.
• What are the current issues affecting the CRM industry in Canada?
• How has the industry changed in recent decades?
• How is collections management handled in CRM? What is done with all of the artefacts collected during CRM projects and who pays for it?

In this episode, I am joined by archaeologists from across Canada to talk about cultural resource management (CRM) in Canada. In the first part of our discussion we consider the following questions.
• What skills and training are needed to work in CRM, and how are post-secondary schools addressing this?
• What is the job market like for recent graduates hoping to start a career in CRM?
• How does CRM vary between provinces and is there much opportunity for mobility between provinces or regions for field technicians?
• At present, how well does the system protect archaeological sites?
• In practice, what role do Indigenous communities usually play in CRM projects?

In this episode, I discuss public archaeology with guests Mariuca Vornicu, Robyn Humphreys, and Angelica Ruggeri. In our discussion we consider some of the following questions.
• What does the term ‘public archaeology’ refer to?
• Why should the public be informed about what we do as archaeologists?
• Should there be limits on what is accessible to the public? (Should some information be kept from the public?)
• How we can keep the public informed and involved?
• What are some current problems to overcome?
• How is public archaeology changing?
We also look a bit at how public involvement and access to archaeological research varies in different countries, and how it has changed over time.
